The man cut Deputy Amy Bretes hands and attempted to stab Deputy Cory Caraffino, according to the department's daily report. Caraffino's vest deflected the file, causing a cut to the deputy's shoulder. Both deputies were taken to Allegiance Health and released.

Rand was thankful no one was severely injured. He said the situation could have escalated.

"It's a deadly, deadly situation," Rand said Friday morning. "I commend them for using restraint."

About 10:25 p.m., the deputies went to the Summit Township home of the man's parents for a report of a domestic assault. Earlier on Thursday, the man assaulted his father, sending him to Allegiance Health for treatment, Rand said.

Inside the Summit Township home, the deputies confiscated a set of nail clippers from the man. The man was sitting, and the deputies were standing, talking to him, Rand said. The man suddenly stood up, ran down a hallway and grabbed another set of nail clippers.

The man attacked the deputies with a knife-like nail file tool on the clippers. Rand said the situation escalated quickly in close quarters and without much time to react.

"Fortunately, for everyone, they didn't shoot him," Rand said.

One Taser failed; the second worked, Rand said.

The man continued to struggle and resisted as deputies put him in handcuffs. They used a Taser a second time, Rand said. The man attempted to bite Deputy James Moore, who had responded to assist deputies Bretes and Caraffino. He was combative inside the patrol vehicle, kicking and damaging it, and would not comply with orders from deputies, who used pepper spray, Rand said.
